Title: Improvements in and relating to Rotary Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: LAMPLOUGH FREDERICK
IPC: F01C1/063
Filed: 1910-06-29
Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 15,623. Lamplough, F. June 29. Movable - abutment type; working-fluid supply; cooling parts; packing vanes. - Relates to rotary internal-combustion engines of the type comprising a rotary compressor x for compressing air or explosive mixture, and a motor unit y on the same shaft, both compressor and motor having piston vanes which advance towards and recede from one another during rotation, the construction being that described in Specification 14,828/10. The axes of the motor and compressor cylinders are on opposite sides of the shaft. The compressor x draws its charge, which may be carburetted in any convenient manner, from a container g, and supplies it in a compressed state to the space between the pistons of the motor y, where it is exploded. The motor has a water jacket, and the pistons d are cooled by arranging that the air passing into the chamber g shall pass from a port c<2> through the hollow disks e and through the hollow pistons d. Leakage of air inwards at the left-hand bearing is prevented by fitting a corrugated circular flap r to bear upon the collar a<2>. The pistons d are packed by U-shaped packing strips inserted in recesses in the curved and flat edges. The plates f which carry the disks e are adjusted axiallv by nuts n which are locked by members p which members are themselves locked by nuts o and washers q constructed as described in Specification 27,870/08.

Title: Improvements in the Mode of and Apparatus for Cooling Margarine Emulsions and other Liquids or Semi-liquids.
Inventor: RASMUSSEN SOEREN PETER
IPC: A23D7/05
Filed: 1910-12-22
Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 29,831. Rasmussen, S. P. Dec. 22. Solidifying liquids other than water. - In apparatus for cooling margarine, emulsions, semi-liquids, &c., of the kind in which the substance is distributed in a thin film or layer over a cooled surface, the layer is cooled on one side by the surface so as to adhere thereto, and both are then immersed in a medium maintained at a temperature just above the freezing- point of water so that the layer is cooled on the other side also, thus ensuring a uniform cooling throughout. The apparatus, as shown in Fig. 1, comprises a cooling-drum C open at both ends, and partly immersed in a tank A containing cold water, through which circulates, by means of pipes E, a cooling-medium such as brine. The substance to be cooled is led from a supply-hopper F to the drum on which it is spread out in a layer, and, to ensure adhesion to the drum, a roller R is located between adjustable guide-bars H, I, of which one is adapted to rest on the drum, and the other is adjustable by means of set-screws to regulate the thickness of the layer. To prevent the substance from solidifying in the space between the guide-bars, a heating-medium such as steam is caused to pass through the passages 0 formed in the guide-bars. An adjustable knife S removes the substance from the drum after it has passed through the tank, and it is then conveyed along an endless band U to a receiver.

Abstract: 2493. Karavodine, V. de. Jan. 31. Separators or sheaths of pyroxylin network, for use in accumulators, are made by winding a pyroxylin thread openly on a flat mandrel in a series of layers crossing at right-angles, then dipping in a solvent so that the threads cohere, then dipping in water to remove the solvent, and finally cutting the threads along one or more edges of the mandrel, and removing the network, either as a sheath which can be sewn or cemented on an electrode, or as sheets which are cut to size for separators. According to the Provisional Specification, cotton thread or fabric is nitrated by immersion for 5 or 10 minutes in a mixture of 3 parts of sulphuric acid and 1 part of nitric acid, and is then well washed in water; it is then immersed for 30 minutes in a saturated solution of sodium carbonate, and again washed. The resulting material may be wrapped round an electrode and secured by sewing or by celluloid solution. Specification 28,867/11 is referred to.

Abstract: 26,295. Magnetbremsen Ges. Jan. 9, [Convention date]. Skid; electric and magnetic.-In electrcmagnetic track brakes in which the braking action is transmitted to the vehicle by a carrier M' depending from the vehicle and engaging stops A', A<11> on the brake magnet M, the carrier or the stops are composed of, or separated from one another by, non-magnetic material, so as to maintain the carrier equidistant from the two stops and ensure a symmetrical distribution of the magnetic flux, thereby preventing the friction that would be produced by the carrier being drawn into contact with one of the stops by an unsymmetrical flux-distribution, and would resist the application of the brake to the rail. In the preferred form, layers of non-magnetic material C', C<11> are interposed between the carrier and stops. In a modification, a guide on the brake magnet maintains the carrier in a symmetrical position between the stops, at least during the first part of the downward movement.

Exciting.-The armature 1, Fig. 1, of a variable-speed dynamo is connected in series with a steadying resistance 8 across the battery 3 being charged, and its field-magnet winding 4 is connected in series with the field-magnet winding 5 and armature 2 of a regulating- machine, the electro-motive force of which opposes, but is less in magnitude than, the electro-motive force of the main generator. The field-magnet windings are of very low resistance. The regulating-machine may be identical with the main generator and may be driven directly or by gearing from the generator shaft, its field-magnet winding 5 then being shunted by a resistance 6 with or without a resistance 7. A resistance 9 may be connected in shunt across the machine 2, 5. The machine 2 may be used as a motor to start up the prime mover. A single machine, which is stated to work on the same principle, is shown in Fig. 2, the fieldmagnet winding 13 being connected between the left-hand brush 10 and one or more adjacent auxiliary brushes 14, 15. The main brushes 10 are connected directly across the battery 12. To start up the prime mover, the battery is connected to the auxiliary brushes 14, 15 and to the right-hand brush 10. According to the Provisional Specification, the two machines shown in Fig. 1 may be combined to form one machine with two distinct armature windings and commutators, the motor or booster element having fewer armature conductors than the generator element.

Abstract: 8540. Holt, J. E., Parker, H. A., Leaver, C., and Harling & Todd. April 11. Loose-reed motions. - The reed is normally held fast by a vertically-slidable plate 6, Fig. 4, resting on the upper step of a slipper 20 on a rod 12, Figs. 3 and 4, connected by lever mechanism 19, 18 to the upper end of a trigger 15 pivoted on a cross-head 14 movable in guides in a slotted bracket 13. When the shuttle is properly boxed, the stop-rod 5 is turned and, by means of levers 17; 16, raises the cross-head 14, thereby raising the trigger 15 clear of a stop-block 21; otherwise, the trigger engages the stop-block and is thereby rocked, thus rocking the rod 12 and slipper 20. The upper step of the slipper is thus removed from under the plate 6, which then falls, or is lowered by spring action, and releases the reed. The plate 6 may be raised into operative position by a handle 24, shaft 23, and rod 22. The plate 6 is slotted to receive bolts 8 provided with nuts. The trigger may be slotted at its upper end. The slipper 20 and the trigger 15 may be duplicated, and the trigger or triggers may act directly upon the slipper or slippers. The rod 12 may be supported in the bracket 13, or in a separate bracket.
